Hello, I want to convert mp3 files into mp4 in order to cut down the file size.Someone mentioned dbpoweramp in an old post.He managed to cut the filesize in half without significant quality loss.How did he do that? I got dbpoweramp and the powerpack but I cant find any options for mp4 files.Some thorough advice will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

I use Nero Wave Editor. If you have Nero, you must than have Nero Wave Editor. It is simple, I just open mp3 song, and than 'Save As' mp4, and there it is simple as that. Phantastic quality in half size (average size of an mp4 song is 1,5mb)

@Cosy76: I guess u have to locate the proper encoder with full path. it should work then.

maybe you only downloaded the dbpoweramp application - in my case it didn't include the encoder/decoder so you might need to download them first and install. after installing, you have to let dbpoweramp know the path to the encoder as what @vineet_d mentioned.
in addition i used mono mp3 at 64Kbps and convert them to mp4 at a quality of 60 (i don't know what that measures to) in dbpoweramp. the quality is good (not as good as the 128Kbps stereo mp3 but acceptable for me) and the size is about 40% only of the original 128Kbps stereo mp3. my k700 can now hold an average of 20 songs with this format.

Cheers for the info.Where can I get the mp4 encoder? I only found the dbpoweramp application and the powerpack (I think...) in the website.Will someone who has already done it pls post the exact specs of a well-balanced mp4 audio file?

I use iTunes for all that. Easy and FREE!

you can get the mp4 codecs from the same site you got the dbpoweramp application,
click here.
It's also free.

hey all,
Just thought I might point something out you might find useful... You will get better quality music if you encode straight from CD to AAC (aka MP4) rather than low quality mp3 to AAC. MP3 is not really very good, and in going from CD to MP3 to AAC you will loose more detail than going straight to AAC.
If that's not possible because you don't have the original CD's to hand, start with a high quality MP3 or AAC and then convert down to whatever size AAC you want.
Why not just use iTunes?
